When your adult daughter asks if she can spend your birthday with you and go overnight somewhere, only one answer comes to mind, yes.

Moments are fewer the older they get

Conversation is deeper

Understanding comes without judgement

Time is not just the clock

Appreciation is shared within moments with no clock

The moon is full again in nearly a blink

Impact and growth appeared with volume

She’s married and still she’s my child

But it seems we became adults together

She has given me three grandchildren

Extensions of the beauty she holds

Our endless love is still gaining ground

Stronger than ever, bonded by more than her birth

Within experiences and understanding

Individual wisdom and insights are mutually heard

Perseverence built insights

Love gives space

To not change one another

Instead to love within change

Moments together are harder to find

So when they align , “YES” is the only word that comes to my mind

This birthday is now written in our history book of best memories
